One shot, multiple suspects arrested in weekend home invasion

I heard this one on selfdefensegunstories and had to go look it up.  https://www.selfdefensegunstories.com/podcast/episode-205-with-tony-simon/

Quote
When homeowner opened his door to see what the visitor wanted, another individual wearing a similar mask forced his way into the home.  The elderly homeowner who was using a walker was able to retrieve a firearm from a basket attached to his walker.  The victim stated he feared for his life and fired one time striking the suspect in the forearm.

That statement in bold caught my attention.  Good for him in being committed to having a firearm with him at all times.  It may have saved his life.

Another failure of the victim selection process.

You are one lousy risk manager.
